The butane-powered grills you find at Asian grocery stores work fine.
We make Shanghai Hot Pot on them all the time. Apparently, they're
officially known as "camp" stoves, "for use outdoors". Bah.

The adiabatic expansion of the butane as it leaves the pressurized
cannister (a dollar or two a can; each can lasts half an hour to an hour,
depending on how hot you're cooking) cools the can down, so when you
take the can out, it's like 35-40 degrees F. The entire bottom part
of the stove is similarly cool. Totally safe indoors, as long as your
ventilation is sufficient.

If you can't find any locally, search for "butane portable stove" on
froogle or something. You should be able to get one for $20 or less,
shipped. Sporting goods stores should have the fuel (liquefied butane
cannisters), if you can't find them at Asian supermarkets or restaurant
supply stores.

And people wonder why manufacturers have to put warning stickers on products
that say things like: "Preperation H is for external use only".

them up my ass.




Been waiting years for an opportunity to use that.

"ALL WATCHED OVER BY MACHINES OF LOVING GRACE"

I don't think that jokes a question of proofreading, it's predicated on the
failure to understanding the meaning of one word.
Speaking of pill popping whacks!

If you read "The Pill Versus The Springhill Mine Disaster" you'll not find
that quote, it's in one of his other books.

And eat it.

2. Find a place to sleep where it is quiet,
and sleep there.

3. Reduce intellectual and emotional noise

You mean as in, "it's pronounced annal-gesic, not anal-gesic. You're
supposed to take it by mouth."?

Well, I've taken several minutes pondering your statement, and I've
yet to figure out what I missed. The party to whom I was responding
made a comment about Preparation H, a topical treatment for
hemerrhoids (what ever happened to Preparation A through G, by the
way?).

Now, the comment he made was in the context of the ointment version of
the product, with the implication of external application, but it also
comes in suppositories. I don't know if I need to explain that or not
(and as a matter of fact, the ointment can be applied internally with
the use of an applicator).

Now perhaps I should have included the setup to the punchline which
involves a dull-witted patient complaining of lack of effect with the
product he had been taking orally.

Spelling seems all okay, as does punctuation. I can't even conjure
much of a link between my first statement and my second. Beyond that,
I'm lost. Someone's going to have to explain it to me.

Meanwhile, I'm still laughing.

This post is cross posted. Your Reply appears to be targeted to one or more
newsgroups who may not have received the subject of your response.
I often strip out rec.food.cooking,nyc.food,misc.consumers.house when I post
and target individuals.
Your post is a joke, it's hard to understand how someone might not get it.
Mine are usually rants and I to often find it hard to understand how others
just don't get them.
One thing I've found that helps, If your telling what you think is a joke to
those less well off than you are, it will be received well. They'd rather
laugh than cry. If they have more money that you do, especially if they're
funds are often perceived as ill gotten, the joke will be interpreted
poorly.

Yes, yes, it's very funny.

But you wrote: "I met as well have". Unless you live in South
Park and spell phonetically, that makes no sense.

Meet \Meet\ (m[=e]t), v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Met} (m[e^]t); p. pr.
& vb. n. {Meeting}.] [OE. meten, AS. m[=e]tan, fr. m[=o]t,
gem[=o]t, a meeting; akin to OS. m[=o]tian to meet, Icel.
maeta, Goth. gam[=o]tjan. See {Moot}, v. t.]
1. To join, or come in contact with; esp., to come in contact
with by approach from an opposite direction; to come upon
or against, front to front, as distinguished from contact
by following and overtaking.
[1913 Webster]

Oh, typo. I never caught it even the second time around. I find as I
get older that my mind wanders a little more as I type (I'm a fairly
quick touch typist and a good speller), and I've started making
typographical errors that I never did twenty years ago.

Thanks.
